Newcastle United returned to third in the Premier League for the first time in two months following Sunday's 2-0 win over Manchester United.
Joe Willock and Callum Wilson scored the goals as the Magpies eased past the Red Devils at St James' Park on Sunday to get revenge for the League Cup final.
In doing so, they nudged their opponents back down to fourth, and Erik ten Hag's side will slip to fifth if Tottenham avoid defeat at Everton on Monday night.
Victory in the grudge match was a vital result in the race for the top four spots, which guarantee European qualification for next season.
